Waterfront Precinct

The Waterfront Precinct is a $1.4 billion transformational project proposed by Dexus Property Group. The vision is to transform Brisbane’s Eagle Street and surrounds into a leading premium business and leisure destination in the heart of the CBD.

The ambition is to revitalise Brisbane’s premier dining hub and give back the waterfront to the Brisbane community, with more green space, more dining options and 1.5 hectares of public open space.

The Waterfront Precinct proposal includes a mixed-use precinct incorporating two new towers on the existing Eagle Street Pier site, with the potential for commercial use, residential apartments, a hotel, and retail spaces.

If approved, the privately funded project could support up to 740 jobs a year during the six-year construction period.

The centre aims to boost rapid access to international markets for agricultural producers. Capitalising on Queensland's global reputation as a leader in the production and processing of quality agricultural products, this initiative seeks to catalyse the development of high-value farming and processing and grow regional job creation.
